The usual phrasing would be "I left no stone unturned", i.e. you did everything you possibly could. Triple negative actually. Which is okay. Even negatives cancel. if the sentence was "There was not a stone I left unturned", or "There was a stone I did not leave unturned", or "There was not a stone I did not leave turned", would mean different things...
